CONTINUATION
OF THE LAI*ST
Foreign Advices,
By the S&ip Manchester,
LONDON, March 9.
The charges Co Lt d'Her
b'is, occ. uj*m which the com million
Of twenty-one could not tell on the 23d
when they Ihould be able to report, are
Hill the fuurge of difUntiuii, and of a
larm, real or pretended. The clamour
agaiuft the paitiet accused appears ta
be so ft mug, tint the corarfiiffiuri will
hatdly venture to report that there is
not fufficient ground for putting them
upon trial.
Delacruix, the author of the pam
phlet coittaining expreflions in favor of
Royalty, has bern acquitted, because
it did not appear that his p imp'nlet was
written with a view of difturhing the
public peace, or with counter revoluti
onary intention!.
Another piifonsr who, having repea
tedly demanded in vain to be bioiight
to trial, wrote to the public Accuser
that he knew how to compel him to
bring him to trial, and added that he
luiu a Royaliji, and not only tvljhrd fur,
but called loudly fur a King, was acquit
ed upon the fame grounds.
On the 27th, alfignats to the amount
of fourteen millions of livres were burnt
making with those before cancelled,
2,596,633,000.
The private letters from Dublin give
the molt alarming account of the fer
ment in that cauutry. The counties
Were all to be aflembled for the purpose
of addrefling the Lord Lieutenant
on the present dangerous lunation of
public affairs; and it is generally be
lieved that the Noble Earl will not think
it fafe to quit the country iri the pre
lent temper of men's minds, until his
faccelTor {hall arrive. Theuimour was,
that Mr. Windham had written a mod
prefling letter to his Lordship, beseech
ing him to continue, and to wait the
result of the explanations that would
yet Beattempted.—Thisthe Noble Earl
certainly will not do ; but it is proba
ble he may poflpone his return beyond
the Bth in It.

The Sardinian Ambaflador to the '
States General of Holland, having'
thought it prudent not to remain at the '
Hague, fled fiom that place and arri
ved at Embden, with an intention of I
getting a paflage to England, but in
Coming across the ice to get to the ves
sels it broke under him, and he was '
d owned. Two or three other perfbns 1
shared the fame fate. 1
The Beglebergof Romelia was to '
fee sent against the rebellious Pacha of '
S utari, but it was feared that this '
Commander would experience the fate
of many others, who have been defeat
ed by that rebel, especially as the form
er is w thout military experience.
The Duke Regent of Sweden has
thought proper to deviate from the fiift
Mticie of the late King's will, which
expressly foibade him arid the young
King to mike any Knights of the 1
Seraphim during his minority ; but u
pon the King's late return to the C»pi- '
tal he was persuaded by his Uncle to '
make a great number of these new
Knights. Among their names are 1
those of the Barons d'Elfen, Reuter
holm, Wachtmeifter Steding, and '
Count Brake. The Duke Regent, as. 1
Grand Master of the Order, pronoun
ced a long difconrfe on the occasion.

tended. c
re Saturday the Rev. Dr. Troy, and t
; g a number of Gentlemen who presented li
Si the several addrelTes from the Irilh Ca- e

)e his Excellency in Dublin Cattle. Se- 0
veral of the nobility and gentry of the e
r j firlt diltinftion were, in consequence of 11
invitations, present on this occasion. c
The open magnanimity of the Ca- si
tholics was never more amply displayed a
than in the meeting at Francis-Chapel t
ie la it Friday ; at once they resolved to c
g fend a deputation to his Majelty, and a
le lay their grievances at the feet of the f.
Throne ; the moment demanded ener

were at Hake. t
f„ From the unanimity which prevail- I
~ ed in the Exchange la(l Saturday, in p
lg passing the resolution in favor of the

ig HOUSE OP COMMONS. t
ft — t
Monday, March 2. ~
jr AVhen the report of the Great Mo- v
, e ney Bill was brought up, Sir Lawrence t
a- Pa''fons moved, that it Ihould be limited ii
j_ to two months. He took a compre- a
() hen five view of the present fituat;on of 0
w Ireland. He alTerted, that if the House
rc fufFered itfelf to be the dupes of the a
r . Britilh minilter it would be the molt ii
debased and degraded AlTembly that t
as- ever legislated for any country. n
Speaking of the conduit of the Bri.
tifh cabinet to tVe Catholics, he exclaim- t
ed, "If the Daemon of Darkness had h
infimiated himfeif into the Britilh coun- »
II- throw the firebrand of discord I
ig thro' this country, he could have devised f
e, nothing more malignant; nothing more
s. milchievoufly fuecefsful, than to rajfe
le the expectations of the Catholics of t
e- Ireland, and then to blast them. If r
rf the Catholics do not feel hurt at such fl
at conduct, they r/niit be the basest of t
if- mankind; they might have borne the t
with holding of what they conceived t
re themselves entitled to, but if they bore ' r
le to be mocked, without feeling the in- jli
g, fnlt, they mult he indeed degraded." j t
Jl Would the Minilter, he fait], dare to'; r
th oppose the unanimous wilh of the peo- i n
:s. pie of Ireland ? If he did he mult be in- j t
ve fatuated ; for in order to refill it, it ! e
e, would be necessary to ftatiou half a do- 1 l
:h zen of dragoons in every man's house. i t
th After drawing an animated and afFedting |c
n- pifttne of the disappointment of the ii
n- wilhrs and hopes of Ireland, he con- b
e- eluded by making his motion for theli- t
n- mitation of the Money Bill to two I
:r, months.
n Mr. Tighe seconded the motion. si
ke Mr. Conolly said, that if the motion it
Ihould come to a vote, he would sup. a
rs port it. b
°f Chancellor of the Exchequer in- c
silted, that the motion tended to dilturb si
f- the public mind. J
n- Sir Laurence Parfont proceeded, he v
Is said, on rumour alane. What would \
lv happen lie knew not/ and he believed no I
riian in the House did.
n- Mr. Mason aiiJ Mr. Ofborne oppo- j
n- fed the motion. '
;d Mr. Brown spoke in favour of the 1
motion—" Gentlemen (he said) Hate, 1
lit that do not hear the alarm : If <
t- they do not hear it now, they will hear I
it soon ; if they cannot hear the whif
ie pers of Discontent, they will heal the I
o- voice of Discontent roar in thunder
from shore to more."
lit Mr. George Powfonby denied that ■
e- any compact exilled between the Go- '
»e vernment and the People, for any par
id ticular obje&s, inder the present admi- !
initiation. He urged the delicacy of I
in Earl Fitzwilliam's lit uation, but did \
>r not contradict the reports that had been
a. so generally circulated and believed. <
j- Lord Milton was agairift the mo- f
s, tion. t
;o Mr. Duquery declared, that there *
f- never was a Parliament so grossly in
fultcd as the present. If the Members a
re had in their veins a drop of the blood
d of the Parliament of 1779, they would
vote for the present queliion.
, On the division, 24 supported the
motion, and 146 opposed it.
5 Mr. Conolly observed, that on the
• queliion for the order of the day, he
had a right to speak. He said he held
'' in his hand those resolutions which he
would have prupofed before, but that t
he had been prevented, and which he "
'* thought would have saved this country 71
" from coming into the most arduous situ- m
at ion in which {be was ever placed— aj
that occasioned by the rejedtion of the tl
motion of his Honorable Friend. They f
went, he said, to effect what seemed to
e be the with of all, the continuation of %
. . . J^
- the fitting of Parliament until the quiet m
of the country lhould be secured by A
d the completion of those raeafurrs which u
d he knew it to be the object of his Ex-
- cellency's administration to accomplish. , t
e Of the principles and vi liicj of his Ex- u
cellency he exprefTed his firm convidti- m
- on, though at the fame time he repeat
e ed that he was not in his confidence,
f nor ever would be, from the political i
connexions of that Nobleman. After Ith
• some other observations, liighly honor
able to his Excellency, and to the gen
-1 tlemen who were in his confidence, he
> concluded by reading his resolutions, ]„
as part of his speech, in substance as u
- follow: a/
lit. That his Excellency by his pub-
s lie conduct fincc his arrival in this coun-
try, has deserved the thanks of the j u
House, and the confidence of the peo
ple.
2d. That a prorogation of Pailia-
ment at this juncture, would be highly
injurious to the true interests of this
country.
3d. That thtfe resolutions lhould be
communicated to his Majelly.
The order of the day being violently
called for by Mr. Beresford, J,
Mr. D. B. Daly said, the firft of f 0
these resolutions was filch as no man in m
the House could be disinclined to sup- "
port ; he hoped, therefore, the House "
- would not, from any motive, prevent ""
e this resolution from being put, contain
-1 ing as it did a merited compliment to »
- a Nobleman who had deserved so well l '
f of this country. l 'i
e Mr. Beresford rofewith much warmth
e and said, lie was as incapable of refill- „
t ing this resolution from any finiftermo- it
t lives, as the Right Honorable Gentle
man, if not more so.
Mr. Daly said, that he had not had
the Honorable Gentleman at all in his j,
I head ; that his expreflion was general },
- on a general fubjeft, and therefore the t!
d Honorable Gentleman could take no of
-1 fence at it. f:
: Mr. Beresford remained silent. c
e Mr. Grattan said it was his intention j
f to oppose the order of the day until the
f resolution of his Right Hon. Friend t <
1 lhould be disposed of, and he was sure g
f that there was fcareely a gentleman in tl
e that House who would not molt hear- 8
1 ! tily coincide in at lead the firft of these "
e resolutions. It was not necessary that f
-| he who a (Tented lo the firft mud fuppoft g
' | the twe others ; they were different in
j j matter and in fubltance, and not by any e
. j means such as to hang one upon another, P
- j tending to ellablifh a great and final C(
t ! conclulion. The second of the refolu- ri
- lions went to ensure a continuance of"
. j the fitting of Parliament, which he was j,
> : convinced was necessary for the public a
e j interest, whether it was to be fecurfd t;
-!by a fliort Money Bill, or by the refolu- n
- tion of his Right Honorable Friend. V .
j He, however, would wish, that this T
resolution were withdrawn for the pre •
lent, until it lhould be known whether £
it was intended to prorogue Parliament tl
after the bulinefs of the Crown lhould
be completed, while the btifinefs of the 0
country remained yet unfijiiflied ; a mea- 11
sure which, he would not hesitate to A ,
declare, whatever minifler lhould advise,
would be the enemy of his country !
1 With refpeft to the firft resolution, lie.' n
\
0 f thought it iv.is fuel) as there • ould be
[no pofiible objection to, going, as it
did, to bellow "a well-defervtd tiibute
of gratitude to a Nobleman, who, tho'
t the public expectation had been very
r, highly raised at his arrival in this king
s dam, had not difappoipted th# ex.pe£ta
r tion—to all whofc measures, and all
"- whose difmijfals, he gave his moll h»ar
c ty and cordial afferit.
r The Speaker informed him that it
was a bill which was before the House,
t and he could take no resolutions till that
1- was disposed of.
The queflion on the order of the day
- being now put, it was carried in the as- j
if firmative,' with the single dissentient j
d voice of Mr. Beresford.
n The firft of Mr. Connolly's resoluti
ons being then put, it palled in the as
- firmative Htm. ton. The other resolu
tions, agreeable to Mr. Grattan's idei,
e weie for the present withdrawn.
The orders of the day were now read

A DISPATCH, dated Ofnaburg, February 18,
1795, of ivbicb thefolltrivin? is an extract, has
been received by bis royal h'tghnefs the Duke of York,
from the Hon. Lieutenant General Hurcourt, and
communicated by his royal highntfs to the right
hon. Henry Dundas, one of his majefy s princi
pal Secretaries of State.
I LOSE no time in acquainting your royal
h'tghnefs, that on the iujl. the enemy advanced
in force upon the pojls of Niiuhuys and V-Itbuys,
ivbicb rvere under the command of Lieut. Col. Strutt,
and occup J d by the Loyal Emigrants, and a detach
ment of Rohan and Bouille's corps. These troops,
after a mojl gallant refinance, ivere forced, with
the loss of about one hundred killed and mounded, to
fall back upon Northor, and the French occupied those
two pojls in some force. They alfofurprifed a small
picquet of Salm and Hompefch Hvjfars in Olden
foal, which they occupied\ but were repulsed, when
advancing on this fide of that place Lieut. Gen.
Abercromby, who commands at Betrthehn, &c. in
tended to attack and reoccupy the pojis rf Nienhuys
and Veltbuys. This measure -was, however, ren
dered unneuffary, by the retreat of the French, who
left all those pojls on the 26th, directing their march
towards Hardenhrg, and Lieut. Col. Strutt im
mediately re-occupied them.
The lajf reports we have received, fate that the
enemy are precipitately marching their troops from
Hardenberg and Groemnguen towards Zwoll, and
| that they have even evacuated Coevorden, taking with
j them the ammunition and part of the cannon from
that place.
It would be unjujl in the extreme not to mention to
your royal highness the particular gallantry and good
conduct of the loyal Emigrants ; they havefhewn it
in every inflanct, and particularly in this las, in
which, lam ferry to fay, they have had four officers
and above ffty men killed and wounded. Major
Mc. Murdc, and the other officers left with thefick,
have been sent back and lam happy to add y that from
their report, cutfick meet with the befl treatmentpof-
Jiblefrom the French.
Horse Guards, March io, 1795.
A Dispatch, dated Embden, March I t 1795, of
which the following is an Fxtraß, has been re
ceived by bis royal highness the Duke of York,
from major Gen A Gordon, and communicated
by his royal highness to the right hon. Henry Dun
das, one of his majefiy t principal Secretaries of
State. J
An opportunity for England offering this mo
ment, and of which lieut. Gen. Harcourt cannot
. avail himfelf \ I have the honor to report, for tbe in
formation of your royal highnfs, that the fore f»J?s,
under the command of major General lord Cathcart,
extending from Fort Bourtange to Neicoc Shanks,
were attacked and drove in, with some less, in the
morning of the 2 jib. *
/am informed by his lordjhip, that he was retir
ing by bis left, with his whole force, confijling of
major General Dundas*s brigade of cavalry, the 6th
brigade of infantry, with some detachments offoreign
ligtXtroops, and intended recr offing the river Ems at
Rhude and Neppen.
I also underjland that the fore-pofls of the left
wing were drove in days before, htft I have not
been able to learn any particulars.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
6 Ventofe y Tuesday, Feb. 24.
Hauflmann gave at account of his mis
1 fion to the armies of the North, and Sam
bre. and Meule, to which he was sent on
' the 22d July.
" The armies then occupied the line
from Antwerp to Liege. Measures con
certed by the Generals with the Represen
tatives of the People, advanced them in a
few days beyond the Meufe, and to the
■ banks of the Rhine. It became necessary
to take speedy steps for organizing the
great extent of country conquered bv
1 the Armirs, and abandoned by the
. greater part of the members of govern
, ment who fled with the enemy. It was
our duty to turn to the advantage of the
Republic, the abundant resource of those
fine countries.
The forced circulation of affignats was
established ; the maximum of Lisle was
put in force; corn and commodities ne- '
cellarv for the arnpies were furnifhed by '
requisition ; the laws refpefling horses for '
- pleasure, and the levy of the twentieth of !
all other horses, were executed ; the paint
ings of the greatest masters, articles of arts
and sciences, very gre*t quantities of me- (
tals, and many commodities of the firft :
necessity, were sent into the interior of the I
Republic. The evacuation of the grana
ries and warehouses of Oftend alone, va
lued at ten millions ; the moveable and
immoveable property of Governments and
Emigrants were taken into the hands of (
the Nation. 1
Twenty-five millions of contributi- *
ons in specie were imposed upon Belgium;
the Municipalities were organized ; eight t
Admiiiiftrations of Diflri<£l and a central i
Administration at Bruflels were created, <
as well as an Administration of Woods 1
and Forests, and a Diretfion of Reve- 1

1 k I ha\ r e. the fatisfaction to announce
. to you, that l'entcnce of death has been
pronounced only upon a few ifi'affms and
forgers of aflignats ; and that the trials
have, always been heid according to the
» Penal Code of the Republic.
t . " For eight months our armies ha»e
subsisted on the produce of the conqueicd '
r countries. At the time of mv departure,
. j '1 16 Military Magazines, the reiources of
i the Country, ana those which (he United
Provinces mult procure us, allured tl.e
future fubfiltence of our armies. DiJTc,-
ent cities and countries of Belgium, how
ever, appeared to be exhausted, and were
. calling for fupplics; but the suppression
( of the Maximum and kequilitions, and
the liberty of Commerce will procure
them what they want.
" The contribution in fperie at the
time of my departure, had produced thir
ty-three millions, which added To three
millions of extraordinary receipts made
-36 millions in specie. 47 millions
■ ing due according to an order of th* Co.u
---r mittee of Public Safety' of the iotli of te
• bruary, may be paid half in aflignats aud
i half in specie.
" Strong rein on,'Kan' es were made a

( caHnot fall heavy but upon tliie Aobeys, the J
, Clergy, the Corporations,the Nobi,s,an4

rations support the greater pan ; thai , n
order to pay them, they melt their pla e
and fell part of their lands; that indivi
duals known to be immcnfely rich sup
port but a very small pan of the burden ;
and finally, that the nation in t e courle
of a year, might hare received more than
eighty millions of the impofitiant, dues,
rents, ice. &c. had they been ordered to
be paid in specie.
" It is however true, that there was
lbnie disproportion in the affeffimnts of
these contributions, which cbnld not well
be avoided ; but we have obviated' fhis
inconvenience, by ordering the central ad
mimftratun to make a more equal yfielT
ment.
" The woods and forefb off.-r greatl
refourtes. The sales of wood foe fuel are
already begun ; the French were invi'.ed
to these sales, and we 'allowed the wo/>d
to be carried into the Republic free of all
duty. These sales will loon produce
more than ten millions; and perfoiw are
employed in marking and cutting down,
(0 be conveyed to the ports and arGer.alsot
the Republic, from 80 to 100,000 (rets
fit for (hip-building, gun carriages, and

" The direction of (lon

" The domains liable to lie taken inta
the hands of the nation are eftixiated at
three thousand millions.
" Here then is a new and considerable
Ifcurity lor the aflignats in circulation.
The inhabitants of Belgium delire that
you (hould convert it to the profit of the
Republic. "I he union of Belgium wi'h
the French Republic is generally wished
